A comparison of U.S. shrimp grow-out diets
There is limited information on the quality characteristics and performance of shrimp grow-out diets manufactured in the United States.

Physical qualities affect performance of shrimp feed
Formulated shrimp feed represents about 50 percent of production costs, but even more if the feed is wasted because of poor quality.

Regular testing maximizes feed equipment performance
To produce a high-quality feed with specific nutritional and physical characteristics, feed equipment processes must often be modified and optimized.
